Why is steam's peak download at 44,525,640 mb/s but its only at 500-750 kb/s?

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

Must be something wrong on my end then... huh? I'm only getting 1.3 mb/s max. What could be the reason? Perhaps it's my location? I'm in southern California. My speed is 34-38 mb/s.

Thanks mate. I have my Steam Cloud disabled, but I always have my region to Los Angeles, California which is where I live. Hmmm. I've tried other locations nearby (in southern California), but no improvements.

The next time I purchase a game from Steam, I will be sure to have Steam Cloud enabled. Thanks again!

Swedish cable broadband, it's usally at 120MB/s down and 15 up, but we've got some bad signal right now due to the weather.

I usually download from Steam at anywhere from 1.3-3mbps. But during the holiday sales, when I bought 4 games, they were downloading at 500kb/s at most and frequently paused. I have a 25/25 FiOS connection and typically get 35-80 down and 20 up. It's your connection. That, or Steam's servers have a high load.

i get 1.6 mbps on steam when downloading. im fine with that i think its pretty fast
